Barragán: "This is not an effort to really get criminals. It's an effort to see 'let's see who we can sweep up along the way.' Why are they doing this? Bc this president said he was going to deport millions & the numbers have not been adding up. There aren't that many serious criminal offenders."

I think because some part of me wanted to feel better about our own situation, I've been reading Mao's Last Revolution, about the Cultural Revolution. At one level, boy yes, a reminder of how much much much worse politics can get, but also more than a few moments of recognition that are discomfiting

The handwringing that a Trumpist nominee lied to Congress in their confirmation hearings would be endearingly naive if it didn’t reflect a potentially country-destroying unseriousness. Lying is their only mode. It is their central characteristic. Their standard operating method. Everyone knew this.

New in PN: ABC is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller "Miller and Trump are hateful bigots. Independent journalists can still say that. Journalists at ABC can’t, because the president gets a veto over their coverage. That’s not democracy and it’s not a free press. It’s fascism."

🇰🇵❗️🇺🇦 Zelensky: We see data on spread of drone technologies to North Korea - and this is extremely dangerous for Europe, and for the region of East and Southeast Asia. We need to react to this now, and not when thousands of advanced "shaheds" and ballistic missiles begin to threaten Seoul and Tokyo.

This is so clearly an Administration that’s terrified at even the slightest resistance and is desperately trying to escalate to scare people with a show of force. We need to call it out as the pathetic, desperate move it is.

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

ICE was created post 9/11 to combat terrorist threats. If they aren't combatting the number one terror threat to America - Domestic Violent Extremism and white supremacists - then they don't need to exist as an agency.
